Provost's Undergraduate Mentoring Program

The Provost Undergraduate Mentoring Program connects first year (freshmen or transfer
students), first-generation college students to San Diego State University (SDSU)
faculty, staff and administrators who were also first generation college students
and/or serve as first-generation student advocates at SDSU.

Benefits of Student Participation in the Provost Undergraduate Mentoring Program

Student mentees will:

- set academic and/or professional goals and develop steps to achieve those goals

- connect with a mentor and gain tools to navigate SDSU opportunities and resources

- gain advice as they continue to progress through their academic major (e.g. graduate advice, career pathways/options, and/or other out of classroom
experiences)

- develop individualized plans that support future professional goals

- increase their competitiveness for graduate school or the workforce through seminars
or other campus programs

Mentee Placement

Students will be matched to faculty mentors through the Division of Academic Engagement
& Student Achievement (DAESA), Provost Undergraduate Mentoring Program office. Students
may be matched with mentors who may be in a different department than the student's
major, pending the number of faculty/staff mentors available.
